Veracruz. There is a former Mexican professional baseball player who, without playing, continues to set a record that is almost impossible to break. This past June 29th, Pedro Ramírez from Veracruz, better known as "El Charrascas" Ramírez, turned ¡105 years old!

He celebrated his 105 years of age alongside his wife Hilda Medina, with whom he has been married for "only" 75 years.

Think about this: Pedro "Charrascas" Ramírez, who was born in Veracruz in 1921, is older than the Mexican Baseball League itself, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year.

Another fact, which may not be a record but is certainly an impossible mark to reach. "El Charrascas" Ramírez is older than the Estadio Universitario de la UAS (the oldest standing stadium in Mexico), which was also inaugurated in 1921, but in the month of September.

Pedro "Charrascas" Ramírez is the only surviving player from the old Pacific Coast League, which was played between 1945 and 1958, playing with Obregón, Mazatlán, and Los Mochis, with whom he won a triple crown in the 1951-52 season.

He was a star in the Mexican Summer League. Where he could both pitch and hit. He had seasons with up to 14 wins and over 100 hits and 19 home runs with teams like Puebla, San Luis Potosí, and Torreón. But especially with the Veracruz teams such as El Águila and Azules de Veracruz.
